Stunned in Beverly Hills
As soon as I got home, I plopped down on the couch and started scrolling through all my social media and thought back on old times. I met Carmen at boarding school with April where we became super close. We did literally everything together from studying to partying to even spending the holidays together. We helped each other threw break ups and failed exams and shared everything with one another. Well, almost anything... I was pretty open about my family and how we came into our wealth and status as was April, but Carmen always seemed to hide bits and pieces of her life back in Boca. I never pushed her to share but I got concerned when she began to act a little closed off just before she disappeared 2 years ago. April and I made every effort to find her but it got to a point where we just accepted that maybe she didn't want to be found.
So, when my social alerts were going off and it was her name mentioned, I couldn't believe it. I read every single blog and tea page I could find to see if they had any more information to give on where she had been the last 2 years. When that didn't pan out, I reached for my laptop and started digging even deeper to see what I could find. They were all just as baffled as I was and didn't have any more details to their reports. I finally gave up and called April... I was sure that if she hadn't seen it yet, that she'd be better off hearing it from me rather than reading it on social media. But the question that kept running around in my mind was when would she reach out and why did she disappear without a trace.
